Zoom zoom. Found this Mazda unicorn today, and thinking it’s a wee bit special because of the low miles, one owner, 263hp four-banger, six speed manual transmission, and because Mazda doesn’t make this car anymore.
It’s a second generation Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed, good for a 5.2 second 0-60mph and crazy 155mph top speed! It’s a bit high priced, since it sold for just under $30,000 new (with the optional Bose system and other goodies) but it looks extremely clean and fun – except for the terrible torque steer noted in more than one review.
You could spring for the Maxcare warranty if you plan to run it hard and blow it up, but I wouldn’t bother. Driven just over 1,000 miles a year I’m thinking it has plenty of trouble free road time ahead. Find it here in Chicago…..if the link is dead it’s sold, on hold, or being transferred.
